So I have chosen, yet again, to be in charge of the online auction for my son’s preschool.  Because the school is under the umbrella of one of the local colleges as a “learning laboratory”, the State cuts to education are going to trickle down to us sooner or later, so what had originally started as a school only event has, over the past few years, transitioned into a largish-scale online event.  Fortunately this year (as last) there is a truly kick-a** team of parents working together to make the auction happen.  We get a lot of cool stuff, particularly because our donors include companies like EA and Mio and a bunch of the local tech-groups.
